Choosing Faith
Have you ever felt as though God left you behind? We may have felt this way but we know this to not be true because the Word says that God will never leave us or forsake us. - Deuteronomy 31:6 Naturally, we are seeking an extraordinary experience to swoop us of our feet so that we will land at our destiny.

When Life Seems Unfair - Count your Blessings!
There are days we find ourselves in a frenzy. We gravitate toward the idea that life is unfair for us because we don’t have all the things we want. Let’s admit that it’s hard not to want all these lavish things when everywhere we look ads consume us. I’m not just talking about material things, but we also want our dreams to come true.
